MANILA, Philippines – Nokia announced on Wednesday, December 5, that it would be coming out with a new Lumia smartphone running on the Windows Phone 8 platform.

Banking on a more youthful appeal, the Lumia 620, is positioned at a competitive US$ 249 price point (approx P10,200).

The Lumia 620 also gains some personalization features by having exchangeable shells. Using what it calls dual-shot technology, the transluscent shells change  the phone’s color depending how you mix and match.
